Realms In The Firmament

”What?”

Ye Shuqing Gramp Ye and Ye Nantian both stood up abruptly.

Their dramatic reaction freaked the guard out.

”What does the young man look like?” Ye Nantian nervously asked.

”He’s pretty young. About seventeen or eighteen. A handsome face… He looks seventy percent like you, but much more handsome than you…” Before the guard finished, Ye Nantian had left the room fast like a whirlwind.

”Stupid kid! Why does he have to come when everything is dangerous… This is not a good time…” Ye Nantian was worried. ”Foolish kid… other than coming now, it is much better for you to come here after Ye Clan leadership gets damaged along with the other clans… Isn’t it great that you have an opportunity to take advantage of it… Gosh. You are still too young. You are simple-minded. Why do I have such a silly son…”

Gramp Ye followed Ye Nantian out hurriedly. When he heard his son murmuring, he felt awkward, and his lips started to twist.

[You bastard. Why do I have such an ungrateful son!]

[I guess he was right about himself. He was unbelievably protective to his own people.]

He followed Ye Nantian out to the gate and saw two men standing at the door.

He glanced at them and then completely ignored the older one. He just stared at the young man who was wearing white clothes.

The young man had sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a slim body, and a handsome face. As he stood at the door, he looked so pretty, just like a conspicuous lord in the chaotic world.

He also had an extraordinary aura. When Gramp Ye took a first look at him, he felt this young man was better than all the young men in the clan!

He also realized that this young man’s face was exactly like his son’s.

In his eyes, the young man was seventy percent like the present Ye Nantian, but ninety percent like Ye Nantian in his teenage years!

He even felt that he might be more handsome than his son used to be!

Such a peerlessly handsome man!

He was sure that this young man was his grandson!

His real grandson!

His grandson, who must be better than his son, had a better appearance than his son!

”Xiao Xiao!” Ye Nantian shouted and rushed over, ”Why are you here?”

He sounded pleased but also anxious and angry.

His son came back to the clan abruptly in such a miserable situation. People in the clan would definitely use it to stir some chaos.

Even if Ye Xiao contributed to the clan, there would be no reward for him! The others would take the credit that he should take!

Ye Nantian still remembered the day when the forefather destroyed the evidence he had collected after lots of hard work!

Ye Clan people’s hearts had rotten!

”Father!” Ye Xiao smiled warmly.

When he saw the square face again, he felt settled and safe, even though he was not a bit weaker than his father at the moment, even stronger.

The blood bond between them was impossible to suppress. ”It has been quite a long time, so I thought I could come home.”

”Oh. It is not a good time though…” Ye Nantian sighed. ”That’s alright. What was done has been done after all. Quickly come in… Urh, by the way, this is your grandfather… It is the first time you two have met each other.”

Ye Shuqing was so thrilled that his face turned red and his voice was shaking. ”You are… You are Xiao Xiao… What a handsome man. Better than your father. Really… Good kid… Good lad…”

Ye Xiao failed to hide the expression of resistance in his face. He unwillingly said, ”Grandpa.”

Then he looked back at Ye Nantian and said, ”I heard… that nobody said anything to protect us back to the days…”

When Gramp Ye heard it, his face turned stiff and gloomy.

Ye Nantian pretended to be angry. ”What are you talking about? He is your grandfather.”

Then he whispered to Ye Xiao, ”You are right, but don’t blame him anymore. He couldn’t do anything. Because of your mother and I, your grandpa was expelled from the chair of the Chief. Our group fell to the bottom in the clan… The cultivation resources we have used in the Land of Han-Yang were mostly from your grandparents. They have been saving their resources for us…”

Ye Xiao’s face finally looked softer.

Although he knew those resources hadn’t helped them on making progress in cultivation, he figured his grandparents must have done quite a lot considering their own situation. If he was a worse father, he could have killed his own son to protect his privilege. It was impressive that his grandfather could do so much for his father!

After all, not all fathers could be as thoughtful and devotional as Ye Nantian…

”Come in and let’s talk inside.” Gramp Ye sighed and regretfully said, ”We didn’t take care of the kid… Come on. Let’s go home. Let your grandma have a closer look at you. She must be overjoyed when she sees you…”

Ye Xiao slightly coughed and said, ”This is… a good friend of mine… We met on the road… I am lucky to have his protection all the way here…”

’This’ is undoubtedly Han Bingxue.

Han Bingxue didn’t dare to be impolite. He humbly bowed and said, ”Well… That… Uncle… Hmm… Bosses… I… Please accept the respect from a plebeian…”

He was distraught in mind.

[You have taken the boy’s body, so you call that man grandpa… It’s okay for you… What about me?]

After thinking for a while, he finally decided to call them ’bosses’. He wanted to call himself a humble nephew, but in the end, he decided to call himself a plebeian… However, it still awkwardly shocked Ye Nantian and Ye Shuqing.

[What does that mean? He looks skinny and lacking in an influential figure’s aura. He talks weirdly. What does that pretty little face do to help? We will never speak to you if you are not with Xiao Xiao!]

Neither Ye Nantian nor Gramp Ye had reached Dao Origin Stage. Han Bingxue was so powerful that he didn’t look mighty. Ye Nantian and his father thought that he was weak, at least just average, so they didn’t really pay attention to him.

”My son has come to Qing-Yun Realm from a lower realm not long ago. He is new to the martial world. I appreciate your help, young brother.” Ye Nantian amicably said, ”May I have your honorable name, young brother?”
